We have some rather random rules about when we accept the "maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't. For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES). And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did. At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings. So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the extra compiler warnings, use W=123". Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not? Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and our source code would be simpler. That's currently not the world we live in, though.
